Welcome
You are now a member of the Framingham State University Fashion Design and Retailing Department (FDR)
Framingham State University was established in 1839, as the first public teacher
training school (known as a Normal School) in the United States. The Fashion Design
and Retailing Department, established June 1, 2013, was formerly part of the Consumer
Sciences department with over a 100 year history, since 1899, at Framingham State
University.
Prior to the 1970s all students in the department majored in Home Economics
Education. This degree could have led to a career in secondary school vocational
education.
In the 1970s the Clothing and Textiles major was established. In 2002 Clothing and
Textiles became Fashion Design and Retailing. Today, as the Fashion Design and
Retailing Department in the College of Arts and Humanities, we have 7 fulltime faculty
members and approximately 160 FDR majors.

Suggestions from Previous Students
Purchase the FSU recommended laptop to ensure campus tech and software
support. Specific software recommendations are provided by faculty members.
Have basic skills in Microsoft Word®, Excel®, and PowerPoint®.
Invest in a portable media storage device such as a flash drive or external hard
drive. Be sure to back up your computer often.
Students should save all project files from freshman year through senior year.
These may be included in the e-portfolio which is built starting in the sophomore
year and completed in the senior year. This helps in the job search.
Understand professional dress. There is a difference between casual, business
casual, and professional dress.
Transportation is often needed to attend field trips, internships, and purchasing
art supplies and fabrics.
See your advisor early and often. Attend group advising meetings.
Join a student club or organization. Attend campus events.
Attend all class sessions. Participating in class discussions and projects expands
your knowledge of the material.
It is your education – you get what you put into it!
Apparel Design concentration students need to have a sewing machine and
garment bag by sophomore year.
Plan your budget for art supplies, fabrics, computer software, and a presentation
case. These costs will add up over time.
Save fabric swatches and fabric information from all projects to use in your
portfolio development.
Take photographs of all your designs and garments.
Merchandising concentration students complete Field Study in Merchandising
by the end of sophomore year.
Begin building a professional wardrobe early. This wardrobe is worn when
attending field trips, internships and for formal classroom presentations.
Save contact information from employers for your personal resume and future
networking opportunities in the field.

Student Activities
FDR students have various clubs and organizations.
The Fashion Club organizes events throughout the semester. The major event is a
fashion show featuring only student designers. Other activities include guest speakers,
charity campaigns, co-sponsoring campus events, and arranging bus trips to New York.
Phi Upsilon Omicron honor society membership is by invitation with national criteria
for acceptance. Membership is based on scholarship, professional potential, leadership,
and commitment to service. Activities include charity campaigns, academic competitions
(Beta Pi chapter at FSU was 1st in the nation in 2015), and hosting campus events.
FSU student organizations include: Black and Gold Orientation Leaders, The Gatepost
(University Newspaper), FSU Dance Team, Intramural Sports, Student Government
Association (SGA), Student Union Activities Board (SUAB), and many others.
Many students are interested in taking part in a Study Abroad program. These programs
can last a few weeks, an entire semester, or even a full academic year. The department
hosts its own fashion study abroad experience every other summer.
Information is available on several international programs in places such as Florence,
Paris, London, and Sydney. Guests are invited to describe their study abroad programs
and answer questions. You will work with your advisor to organize your experience.

Advising
Each student is assigned a faculty advisor when entering the department. Your advisor
is a valuable resource for class scheduling, study abroad planning, possible summer
courses, and any other questions about graduation requirements. Your advisor is there
for more than just registration advice. Check in and discuss your possible career goals,
questions about the department, personal interests, and any current academic
situations.
Each semester before you can register for classes you must meet with your advisor.
There is a PIN number that you need in order to register for courses online. You will
receive this PIN at the end of your advising session. Class ranking affects when you
need to make an appointment to meet with your advisor. A schedule is posted each
semester informing students about the advising period and registration dates.
Prior to your advising appointment put together at least 2 possible schedules for the
upcoming semester. You should also have a list of questions for your advisor. The
amount of time for your appointment may be limited. Arrive on time and be prepared.
There are ‘free electives’ that allow you to take courses that you find interesting. These
electives are often used to declare a minor, take unique study abroad courses, or
expand knowledge on a variety of topics.
An academic minor requires you to complete five courses in a specific department.
Some programs specify which courses must be completed in order to earn the minor. It
is beneficial to select general education courses that will count towards the minor. This
allows you more flexibility with your schedule. Your advisor will assist in this process.
Minors popular with FDR students include Art, Business, and Communication Arts.
6
Transfer Credits
Transfer students have distinct needs. Your advisors will guide you through the
transition process. Upon admittance the registrar will assign you FSU course credit that
is compatible with the courses completed at other academic institutions. These typically
are associated with your FSU General Education requirements. (Ex: A psychology
course from your previous school may transfer in as PSYC 101 General Psychology
which is a general education course in one of the three (3) Domains) For more
information see Course Sequencing.
Framingham State University uses a 1 course = 4 credit hour system.
At FSU a student is considered a full time student when taking 3 – 4 courses. To
complete the major in four years, 4 courses are taken a semester. If you have credits
from an institution that uses a 1 course = 3 credit hour system there may be some
graduation issues that need to be addressed with your advisor.
The Fashion Design and Retailing Department has a ‘Transfer Credit Committee’ that
looks at courses completed at other institutions that may transfer in as FDR courses.
Copies of syllabi, projects, and the catalog descriptions are required for a possible
course substitution. These substitutions are typically allowed for lower level FDR
courses. Apparel Design classes are rarely accepted from other institutions.
Any courses completed outside of FSU are considered transfer courses. Summer
courses taken at other higher education institutions, Study Abroad courses, and online
courses (not offered through FSU) are examples of transfer credits. These courses
must be approved before they are completed by a current FSU student. (See Appendix)
7
Course Sequencing
To graduate from FSU with a degree in Fashion Design and Retailing you must:
Complete 32 total courses
Of these 32 courses, 10 must be General Education (Gen. Ed.) courses
o There are 10 General Education courses, in the Domain Model
The Common Core = ENGL 110 Expository Writing; and MATH
XXX College Level Math Course
o These courses must be selected from an approved list of courses
Complete all of the FDR Major Required Core Courses
Complete all Apparel Design or Merchandising Concentration Required Courses
Each course has a unique course code. The prefix FASH is used for all Fashion Design
and Retailing courses. The numbers correspond to the level of that course.
For example FASH 141 is a freshman level course.
Advance planning is required to complete all of these requirements within four years.
Some courses are not offered every semester. Your advisor assists you with course
selection to keep you on track. It is best to choose a concentration freshman year.
You may want to take courses at another institution to remain on schedule or to get
ahead on your graduation requirements. See Transfer Credits for more information.
Some courses have ‘prerequisites’ that must be completed before that course can be
taken. The course material builds on the information presented in lower level courses.
You must take most of your required courses in a very specific order. Most upper level
FDR courses have prerequisites.
